Our mission was simple yet ambitious: to help you easily find and book the perfect place to stay for your trips to France.<\/p>\n<p>In 2004, Dorian joined our journey, bringing his technical and marketing expertise. With my background in management and sales, we formed a perfectly complementary team. In 2020, our partnership deepened when we became business partners, joining forces to continue growing France Hotel Guide.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36379\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36379\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36379 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mona-and-dorian.jpg\" alt=\"Mona and Dorian on a dinner cruise with Bateaux-Mouches on the Seine\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36379\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dorian and Mona on a dinner cruise with Bateaux-Mouches on the Seine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Over the years, France Hotel Guide has evolved into a trusted resource for travel and tourism advice. Through our blog and various social media channels, we help travelers from around the world discover hidden gems and the best experiences in Paris and across France. We share our favorite spots, practical tips, and recommendations, always with the goal of making your trips unforgettable.<\/p>\n<p>We also love taking time to bond as a team, whether it&#8217;s during seminars in Ard\u00e8che riding quads and flying ultralight planes, or skiing down the slopes of Saint Gervais in the Alps.<\/p>\n<p>These moments remind us of the wonderful team we have, united by a shared passion for travel and authenticity. This spirit that drives our close-knit team is something I truly cherish.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36380\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36380 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/quad-1.jpg\" alt=\"Team seminar in Ard\u00e8che\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Team seminar in Ard\u00e8che, France<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36377\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36377\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36377 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/laurent-quad.jpg\" alt=\"Quad biking in Ard\u00e8che\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36377\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Quad biking in Ard\u00e8che<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36376\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36376\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36376 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/ulm.jpg\" alt=\"Ultralight flight training in Ard\u00e8che\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36376\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ultralight flight training in Ard\u00e8che<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36378\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36378\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-36378 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/laurent-ski.jpg\" alt=\"Team seminar in Saint Gervais\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Team seminar in Saint Gervais (French Alps)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I invite you to follow us on social media \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FranceHotelGuide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/francehotelguide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/francehotelguide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Pinterest<\/a> \u2013 as well as on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france-hotel-guide.com\/fr\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">blog<\/a>, to stay connected and discover our latest finds, tips, and favorites.<\/p>\n<p>See you soon on France Hotel Guide,<\/p>\n<p>Mona<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone, I&#8217;m Mona, the founder of France Hotel Guide.
